This article, by John Richards, Leslie Stebbins and Kurt Moellering, 2013, explores the current reality of the games market. It draws a K-12 market map of learning initiatives based on games and analyses new trends in education and technology that can influence this market.

Heading to FETC in Orlando this week? Our very own Dr. Kari Stubbs has collaborated with a superstar team to present #Edgames #Edlearning #EdAssessment. She’ll be joining Brian Alspach (E-Line Media), Scot Osterweil (MIT), Naomi Greenfield (Fablevision), and Betsy Peisach (Maryland Public Television) to discuss the hot topic of games in learning and how it’s becoming more than a trend. This panel of experts will be exploring games as consumption, creation, their intersection with digital content, research, challenges, and the critical dimension of professional development and teacher support. New to games in the classroom? No problem! Attendees will leave the session with a collection of educational games and teaching resources so you can get started as soon as you return to your classroom.

Don’t miss this exciting session on Wednesday, January 30 from 10-11 am in room South 320H of the convention hall.

We’re everywhere this week! In addition to FETC, we’re exhibiting at BETT in London. Read what the BrainPOP UK team has in store for the show and follow @BrainPOP_UK for the latest overseas news.

Attention New York City area educators! Are you ‘game’ for a free one day game design workshop with BrainPOP and Gamestar Mechanic? Then read on. . .

From the National STEM Video Game Challenge to ed tech conferences around the country, you’ve heard the buzz about student-made games. But how do you get started making that a reality in your classroom? On Saturday, November 12, join leading game designers, STEM content experts, and fellow educators for a day of professional development dedicated exclusively to this rapidly growing field of game design. Keynote speaker Michael Angst, Founder and CEO of educational game publisher E-Line Media, kicks things off with a talk that illuminates the key elements of game design. Then, head to hands-on workshops in which you’ll use curricular content from BrainPOP and the easy-to-use game design tool Gamestar Mechanic to develop your very own game. You’ll leave armed with great ideas and ready to tackle that National STEM Video Game Challenge with your students. Breakfast, lunch, and other goodies will be provided.
